At COP 10 (2004) Parties adopted Decision 1/CP.10
(taking into account activities under
Decision 5/CP.7). This included provisions, within the Buenos Aires programme
of work, to respond to the adverse effects of climate change as referred to in
Article 4 of the Convention.

Activities under these decisions generated an important knowledge base on impacts and
vulnerabilities and adaptation practices, gaps and needs, which led to the development of the current
workstreams and groups & committees.
